I have a laptop that I take to customers site to install software. I
have an application that needs .net 2003 for compilation. I also have
a vb6 application that interfaces with this product. I need to be
able to work with this interface code, so I will need to compile it
again. Is it possible to have vb 6 and .NET 2003 loaded on the same
machine?

I tried converting the vb 6 to .net with the wizard, but I got a
memory reference error. It shows up in the design in .NET, but it has
errors everywhere. It has upgrade errors and warnings everywhere.

Yes, I have both IDE on the same machine. Visual Studio .Net 2003 and
Visual Studio 6.0. I have no problem with them.
 
Hi,

Yes.

However, you might want to consider using VS 2005 (or VB2005 Express),
instead of VS 2003. The Express version is free/or really inexpensive, if
you get the CD version.
